Scar Revision in Plantation, Florida
Medical scar revision to improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, traumatic scars, and keloid scars. Evidence-based treatments including laser therapy, microneedling, injectable fillers, and surgical revision performed by Dr. Abram Berens. Scar revision is a specialized medical procedure designed to minimize the appearance of scars through advanced dermatological and surgical techniques. Dr. Berens offers comprehensive scar treatment for a wide range of scar types, from acne scarring to post-surgical scars to traumatic injury scars.
Treatment approach depends on scar type, location, depth, tissue characteristics, and your skin type. Dr. Berens may use laser resurfacing, microneedling with PRP, dermal fillers for atrophic scars, steroid injections for hypertrophic or keloid scars, chemical peels, dermabrasion, or surgical excision and revision. Scar revision is a medical procedure requiring careful assessment, realistic expectations, and physician-supervised care. Not all scars can be completely eliminated, but most can be significantly improved with the appropriate treatment protocol.
How Scar Revision Works
Medical Assessment
Dr. Berens examines scar type, depth, tissue quality, skin type, and healing characteristics to determine the most appropriate treatment modality.
Customized Protocol

Frequently Asked Questions
Can scars be completely removed?
Scars cannot be completely removed, but most scars can be significantly improved in appearance, texture, and color. The goal of scar revision is to make scars less noticeable, not to make them disappear entirely. Dr. Berens sets realistic expectations during consultation.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies significantly based on scar type, severity, and treatment method. Laser resurfacing typically requires 3-6 sessions. Microneedling may require 4-6 sessions. Keloid injections may require 3-6 monthly injections. Dr. Berens creates a customized treatment plan based on your specific case.
Is scar revision painful?
Most scar revision treatments involve minimal discomfort. Topical numbing cream is applied before laser or microneedling procedures. Injectable treatments (fillers, steroids) may cause brief stinging. Surgical revision is performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Berens prioritizes patient comfort throughout treatment.
When will I see results?
Results are gradual. Some improvement may be visible after the first treatment, but optimal results develop over 3-6 months as collagen remodels. Final results are typically visible 6-12 months after completing the treatment series. Patience is essential for scar revision.
What about keloid recurrence?
Keloid scars have a high recurrence rate (50-80%) even after treatment. Dr. Berens uses combination approaches (surgical excision + steroid injections + silicone sheeting + pressure therapy + laser) to minimize recurrence risk. Patients with keloid history require long-term monitoring and may need maintenance treatments.
How much does scar revision cost?
Cost varies widely based on scar type, size, location, and treatment modality. Single steroid injection: $200-400. Laser session: $500-1,500. Microneedling with PRP: $600-1,200. Surgical revision: $1,500-5,000+. Dr. Berens provides transparent pricing during consultation based on your specific treatment plan.
